Spectacular Fireworks Display for Taiwan New Year

  • 14 years ago
Tens of thousands gathered in front of Taipei City Hall on New Years Eve to welcome the arrival of 2010 with concerts and fireworks around the landmark Taipei 101 building.

Traffic restrictions were in place by 7:00 p.m. local time as residents poured into the area for the best view of the fireworks.

The crowd counted down the final seconds of 2009, as fireworks shot out from the eight corridors around Taipei 101, the world's tallest building.

The 220 thousand shot display was spent in just over 3 minutes and cost about 1 million U.S. dollars.
